And a great sign appeared in - heaven : a woman clothed in the sun , with the moon under her - feet and a crown of twelve stars on her - head.
- vvv vvv She was pregnant and crying out in the pain and agony of giving birth.
Then another sign appeared in - heaven : - - a huge red dragon (with) seven heads , - ten horns , and seven royal crowns on his - heads.
- His - tail swept a third of the stars from (the) sky , - tossing them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman - who was about to give birth , ready to devour her - child as soon as she gave birth.
And she gave birth to a son , a male child , who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her - child was caught up to - God and to His - throne.
And the woman fled into the wilderness , where - - God - had prepared - a place for her to be nourished - for 1,260 ... ... days.
Then a war broke out in - heaven : - Michael and his - angels - fought against the dragon , and the dragon and his - angels fought (back).
(But) vvv (the dragon) was not strong enough , (and) no longer ... (was) any place found in - heaven for (him and his angels).
And the - great dragon was hurled down — that - ancient serpent - called (the) devil and - Satan , the deceiver of the whole (world). He was hurled to the earth , and his - angels - with him.
And I heard a loud voice in - heaven saying : “ Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our - God , and the authority of His - Christ. For the accuser of our - brothers has been thrown down — he who accuses them day and night before our - God.
- They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And vvv they did not love their - lives so as to shy away from death.
Therefore ... rejoice , O heavens , and (you who) dwell in them ! (But) woe to the earth and the sea ; - with great fury the devil has come down to you , knowing - he has only a short time. ”
And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth , he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male (child).
(But) the woman was given - two wings of a - great eagle to fly from (the) presence of the serpent to her - place in the wilderness , where she was nourished - for a time , and times , and half a time.
Then from - the mouth of the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman (and) sweep her away in the torrent.
(But) the earth helped the woman and - - opened its - mouth - to swallow up the river that had poured from the dragon’s - - mouth.
And the dragon was enraged at the woman , and went to make war with the rest of her children , who keep the commandments - of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And (the dragon) stood on the shore of the sea.
